[Omex Rev limiter]

Hi everyone

Would a omex Rev limiter got on my obd1 coil pack

Would I need the twin coil kit ?

I was under the impression that the kit grounds each twin coil on the coil pack ? Or does it ground each bank ? I assumed the vr had 3 twin coils and 2 banks is this correct ?

The kit consists of 2 wires out the control box to ground the coils I was thinking it would need 3 for each twin coil ?

Like I say I am unsure how the kit grounds

Anyone who can shed some light on this that would be great

Thanks

hey guys

 

My name is nay i am 21 and from manchester ! my family has always been into vw's and its kind of bit me from a young age i have owned a mk1 polo , 2 mk3 polos (one witch i drive daily) and a mk2 golf aswell witch u still own,

 

I have been on here for a while so thought i would post up my project , the car was being driven daily upto 2009 by my brother witch sadly pasted away , so rather than sell the car it was passed down to me and has been sat for nearly 6 years ! its a shame its been sat so long but work commitments and money issues ! mainly down to the insurance 8000£ for third party insurance as a first car ! so it put me off the idea of driving it ,but now with me being older and insurance cheaper now is the time to start the project !

 

The car has always been a bit rotten when my brother first obtained the car it had its rust but after 6 years its definitely got worse with it being open to the elements ,

 

i wont blab on to much just a insight to the story to my car and the sentimental value it carrys before people say buy a new shell ect 

 

I dont have many recent snaps of the overall car just the recent rusty pics i shall update on sunday when i next work on the car 

 

Here is my daily driver this was a year project (only 1.0 with 1.3 head highlift cam and 1.3 injection) but still nippy 

 

 

 

anyways heres a few snaps of the vr6 car after a year of the road 

 

the car had a green top tint screen fitted as the old one was cracked

here is some of the rust i shall get better photos when i start repairing the selected areas of the car 

one of the arb mount bracket

 

a drivers side floor grommet i repaired today so no before photo sorry it was same as above photo of passenger side ^^^

etched and seam sealed all of it 

 

still a novice welder i no how to weld just bought a new welder and a proper bottle and reg and this is my first go with it all and tbh not to bad to sat i pushed for time so the welds should get better ! there strong tho so it all good i just like to do a good job and make it look good,

 

as you can see its typical mk3 rust ,rear arches both inner outersills are shot can put foot thru them ! floor grommets ,

 

once all the rust is sorted i shall be starting on mechanical overhaul of the car ,running gear ,brakes,engine ect

 

the engine is at 110k from memory it needs chains and guides and clutch is on it way out and the release bearing is knackered but it does whine a lot sounds like a super charger on idle  only if it was aye ! maybe in the future ! 

 

just a quick thread to my project i will update when i can and i will be on here floating about maybe posting to some threads 

 

cheers
